The secondary constriction region (h) of human chromosome 9 was evaluated in 55 chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients with respect to its size and position. Each case was examined by C-banding and distamycin A–4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole techniques for the expression of the h regions. When one h region of chromosome 9 was larger, it was more frequently involved in the reciprocal translocation with chromosome 22. In addition, there was a higher incidence of pericentric inversions in the h regions in the translocated chromosome 9 when compared with normal homologues. The role of the constitutive heterochromatin of chromosome 9 as a possible influencing factor during 9q;22q translocation in CML is suggested.Key words: chromosomes 9 and 22, leukemia C-banding, DA–DAPI technique, heterochromatin.

The distribution of constitutive heterochromatin has been examined by C-banding in two somatic cell lines, grown in vitro, from a female Microtus agrestis. One line retains one intact X chromosome together with the short arm of the other X chromosome, while the other cell line retains only the short arm of one X chromosome. Thus, each cell line has lost substantial amounts of heterochromatin from the sex chromosomes, but this material has been deleted from the cells, and not translocated to other chromosomes. Nonetheless, both cell lines continue to propagate well in vitro.

The chromosomes of the Murrah (River), Swamp (Malaysian kerbau), F1 hybrid (Murrah × Swamp) and first generation backcross (F1 hybrid female × Murrah male) buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis L.) were studied using Giemsa (G) and centromeric (C) banding techniques. The diploid chromosome number for the Murrah was 2n = 50, Swamp 2n = 48, F1 hybrid 2n = 49 and two backcross animals had 2n = 49 and 2n = 50, respectively. The largest two metacentric chromosomes of the Swamp resulted from a tandem fusion between the two chromosomes 4p and 9, respectively, of the Murrah karyotype. The F1 hybrid (2n = 49) and one of the backcrosses (2n = 49) had karyotypes intermediate to the Murrah and Swamp parents. The C banding patterns were useful in identifying the X and Y chromosomes of the buffalo and demonstrated that a major portion of the centromere region of chromosome 9 was not incorporated into chromosome 4 during the tandem fusion.
